One of the fundamental problems in the theory of social choice is aggregating the rankings of a set of agents (or voters) into a consensus ranking. Rank aggregation has found appl...
A crucial issue for Machine Learning and Data Mining is Feature Selection, selecting the relevant features in order to focus the learning search. A relaxed setting for Feature Sele...
This paper gives an efficient Bayesian method for inferring the parameters of a PlackettLuce ranking model. Such models are parameterised distributions over rankings of a finite s...
Many vertical search tasks such as local search focus on specific domains. The meaning of relevance in these verticals is domain-specific and usually consists of multiple well-d...
